💧 Water Safety Tips

• Never leave children unattended, even for a few seconds
• Designate a “water watcher” who isn’t distracted by phones or conversations
• Avoid swimming alone, especially in deeper water
• Keep life jackets or flotation devices nearby (especially for weaker swimmers)
• Know where rescue equipment is (life ring, pole, etc.)
• Stay away from drains and suction outlets
• No running near the pool—wet surfaces get slippery fast

• Action: call 911 immediately—don’t wait

🫁 Drowning / Near-Drowning

Fireworks are a great way to celebrate, but safety should always come first.

With the upcoming holiday, we wanted to take a moment to offer some important safety precautions for your weekend.

________________________________________________________

Before lighting any fireworks, make sure you’re taking the proper precautions:

• Keep a safe distance from buildings, dry grass, and vehicles
• Never relight a “dud” firework
• Always have water nearby (hose or bucket)
• Keep children and pets at a safe distance
• Never point fireworks toward people or homes

Even with precautions, accidents can happen in seconds. Having a fire extinguisher on hand can make all the difference in protecting your home and family.

Don’t wait until it’s too late, reach out to us today to purchase a fire extinguisher and be prepared for any emergency.

properties and fire protection systems.

Last Sunday, MICU 579A, MEDIC 500, and the Garrettford-Drexel Hill Fire Co. responded to the 200 block of Burmont Rd for a person choking. The man, being home alone, ran out into the street and got the attention of a bystander. This unknown bystander recognized the man was choking and performed back blows and abdominal thrusts until EMS arrived. Paramedic Erin McCardle, EMT Jen Smith, and Chief Ron Berardocco arrived on scene. The patient was lowered to the ground, and paramedics removed a large piece of meat wedged in his airway with a McGrath video laryngoscope and McGill forceps. An amazing job by this unknown bystander who saved this man’s life by recognizing, taking action, and activating EMS!
